I will be using this blog to schedule group runs, seminars, and workouts for all my athletes and other people interested in doing the ultra. I will also be using this blog to document my training for the 2010 Vermont 100 Mile Ultramarathon. For official articles, please visit my other blog at http://coachjoegold.blogspot.com.

March 31 - KEY WORKOUT - 20 Mile Run on Boardwalk

AM Workout:

Key Workout: 20 mile run, Ultra Style (8 minute run/2 minute walk intervals)

Course: 5 laps on Boardwalk
Time, including walks: 3:15:40 (9:47 pace)
Weather: 45F, Cloudy, Moderately Windy

Oh boy I was just itching, ITCHING to get this run in. Yesterday I was thwarted by being underdressed for the rainy weather. Today, I brought my entire wardrobe with me for the run. After getting the proper gear ready, I finally headed out for the 5 laps needed to pull off the 20 miles.

The Boardwalk course is very nice for long runs because there are water fountains and bathrooms all along its length in case nature calls. In to those lovely perks, I get to run by my car after each lap in case I need Cliff Bars or Gatorade. I needed none of these today, just a little water to keep the skids greased.

The run was strong throughout. As a matter of fact, as I write this 3 hours after the run, I feel my legs have more to give. I wouldn't be surprised to go out for a nice short run this afternoon. Heh, it'll definitely be posted here when that happens!

Total Mileage this week so far since Monday:

2000 meters swimming
39 miles running
0 miles cycling

(Key Workout 1 of 4 done this week)
